Does anyone have more experience with it, especially with regards to reliability when hosting on their servers?]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=262372013-03-18T09:56:07Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1245564#p1245564Seafile 1.4.5 was released, it fixes some bugs and include MySQL support.]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=677762013-02-03T05:57:42Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1226474#p1226474EDIT: Seafile 1.5 has released, which supports LDAP authentication and provides CLI client.

Seafile (http://seafile.com) is an open source file synchronization and collaboration platform.It comes with Dropbox-like file syncing, but is designed to be better for team collaboration.You can build a file syncing and collaboration service for your team on your servers.People can also build their own Dropbox for personal use with Seafile.

4) End-to-end data encryption. Seafile can encrypt a file library with a password before sending the data to the server. The password won't be kept on the server. So even server admin can't read your private data.

Technically, Seafile uses Git's data model, but doesn't directly rely on Git.It reimplement and improve Git's version control algorithms with good reasons:

* Clients do not store file history, thus avoids the overhead of storing data twice. GIT is not efficient for larger files (such as images).* More user-friendly file conflicts handling similar to Dropbox (Add user's name as suffix to conflicted file).* Gracefully handles corner cases that user modifies files when auto-sync is running.

You may have heard about other "Dropbox alternative" projects, such as ownCloud and SparkleShare.Compared to those projects,

* Seafile has more mature and reliable file syncing algorithm.* Seafile is not just a clone of Dropbox, it has group collaboration features and is better for teams.
